Canadian Rockies vacations offer the active traveler a veritable playground all year—including skiing bowls of champagne powder, horseback riding on mountain trails, hiking to a backcountry lodge, walking on ancient glacial ice, white water river rafting and driving a dog sled team.

One of the world’s youngest mountain ranges, Canada’s Rocky Mountains are home to seven mountain parks and 994 miles (1,600 kilometres) of hiking trails. The weather during Canadian Rockies vacations can be variable due to the high elevation and rugged topography. Cool, crisp nights and warm days are typical of autumn. Warming Chinook winds can bring spring-like conditions in mid-winter, while spring offers both skiing and golfing opportunities. The summer climate is pleasant with low humidity, warm temperatures and daylight hours stretching until 11:00 pm.

Before the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the late 1800’s (the company that originally developed luxury Canadian Rockies vacations), early Native people cherished these mountains as sacred places and a source of game, fish, and other supplies as long ago as 11 thousand years. Stoney, Cree, Ktunaxa and Plains Blackfoot Nations roamed these valleys, followed later by explorers fuelled by the fur trade.
